Prayer Times in Mosul — 2028

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Mosul — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 04:19, Dhuhr at 12:08, Asr at 15:47, Maghrib at 18:53 and Isha at 19:45. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 05:38. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Baghdad timezone (UTC+3), the Shia Ithna-Ashari (Qum) convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Mosul is listed under Nineveh in Iraq. The engine uses 36.3400 latitude and 43.1300 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Baghdad. A mosque a few kilometres away will usually match these times to the minute; a different city, even in the same metro area, can drift by two to five minutes because longitude shifts solar noon. The urban area is on the order of 1.4 million people.

For the latitude of Mosul, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 05:38 and Maghrib is 18:53. Dhuhr (12:08) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Iraq, and why this page is calculated from Mosul’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Mosul starts from Shia Ithna-Ashari (Qum). Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Mosul (Iraq) has both long-established and newer Muslim communities. Jumu'ah times are set by each mosque and are not computed here — only the five daily prayers and sunrise.

Qibla from Mosul is 191.8° from true north (SSW), about 1,689 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Erbil (81 km), prayer times in Baghdad (355 km), prayer times in Karbala (422 km), prayer times in Najaf (495 km), prayer times in Basra (779 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

The full August grid is on the Mosul timetable for August 2026. A year view lives at prayer times in Mosul for 2026. More cities in Iraq are listed on the Iraq prayer times page. Figures refresh automatically each day.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Mosul is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
